* Thomas Bader <thomas@t-bader.ch> [000806 16:22]: > What must I do to receive a german console, using FreeBSD > 4.1-RELEASE? >=20 > Instead of those umlauts I see just some ugly characters. Now, after some suggestions I put this in my /etc/rc.conf: font8x8=3D"iso-8x8" font8x14=3D"iso-8x14" font8x16=3D"iso-8x16" scrnmap=3D"iso-8859-1_to_cp437" keymap=3D"swissgerman.iso" But still it does not work. Directly logged in on the console, I can type umlauts, but I just see ugly chars instead of the umlaut I typed. I cannot see umlauts if I'm viewing a text with less, reading mail using mutt etc. too. Further, umlauts don't work using ssh or telnet. I cannot type them in (I just hear some sound beeping), but I see them over ssh (if I'm viewing a text using less, reading mail using mutt etc.). I even did a fastboot. Any hints? Thomas --=20 .-.
